If you don’t work in the industry, steering through the complexities of oil and gas development can be like using a GPS device in another language as you drive through the twisty streets of a foreign city. In short, you may not find where you’re going let alone get out of the driveway.

Fortunately, the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) has resources to help you arrive safely at your destination, among these, its EnerFAQs publications, crafted with the average Albertan in mind.

EnerFAQs (emphasis on the F-A-Q) cover a variety of topics. You can

better understand overall oil and gas development on issues such as the oil sands and critical sour wells;

learn about the AER and our processes, such as alternative dispute resolution; and

find out how to voice concerns about a proposed energy development.

“I always have a stack of EnerFAQ to hand out when meeting with people in communities,” explains Behn Morris, an engagement specialist with the AER. “They are really useful tools for anyone with questions on energy development. They help educate people, and help folks navigate the system.”
